First of the season halibut
Halibut, known for its mild, sweet flavour and flaky texture, is a favourite in seafood dishes. You can prepare it in many ways, making it a delicious choice for any meal. Whether you prefer a simple dish or more creative halibut ideas, this fish pairs beautifully with various sides and wines. Our first-of-the-season halibut is also fresh and locally sourced—line-caught off the coast of British Columbia. It’s also Ocean Wise recommended and backed by a Fresh Guarantee.
What is the best way to cook halibut?
When it comes to preparing halibut, it really depends on your preference, but it’s hard to go wrong with simple methods to bring out the flavour. Grilling, baking, or pan-searing are all great options. If you like grilling, a light brush of oil and seasoning will keep it moist and flaky. Baking offers an easy, hands-off approach, while pan-searing creates a crispy outer crust. Just remember to heat it gently—halibut cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking!
What to serve with halibut
Fresh vegetables like roasted asparagus, sautéed spinach, or a light salad add brightness and crunch. Try serving it with rice, quinoa, or creamy mashed potatoes for something filling. A drizzle of lemon or a simple herb sauce can also enhance the fish without overpowering it.
What wines go well with halibut?
White wines that are crisp and light go well with the delicate flavour of halibut, like Sauvignon Blanc and certain Chardonnays. More floral options like a Pinot Grigio can also add a nice touch. If you prefer a bolder choice, try a dry Riesling to balance the mild sweetness of the fish. Whatever you choose, a bright white wine will enhance the halibut without overshadowing its subtle taste!
